Taking Levothyroxine. Brownish Spots On The Nose. Are These Related? Using Sunscreen
I HAVE BEEN ON LEVOTHYROXINE 50MCG. OVER A YEAR & DURING THIS TIME I HAVE DEVELOPED 3 BROWN SPOTS ON MY NOSE. IS THIS RELATED TO THE LEVOTHYROXINE? I HAVE ALWAYS KEPT AWAY FROM SUN EXPOSURE. I USE SUNSCREEN ALWAYS ON MY FACE UNDER MY MAKEUP. I HAVE NO SUN SPOTS NO WHERE ELSE ON MY FACE EXCEPT NOW FOR THESE ON MY NOSE. I HAVE PUT HYDROQUINONE & NOW I STARTED WITH OBAGI BRIGHTENEX 2 WEEKS BUT HAVE SEEN NO LIGHTENING RESULTS. I'M 55 NOW.

Hi welcome to Health care magic forum.
Thanks for choosing H.C.M.Forum.
You have been using levothyroxine since 1 year. you have developed 3 brown spots on the nose , you are 55 years of age. Used many drugs but no use.
At this age due to harmones imbalance. or due to defeciency of vitamins.
I advise you to consult a dermatologist, for diagnosis and treatment.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery.
Best regards.
